Why does it matter if you’re ranked number one or two in the Class A RPI? You will still get to host the entire length of the playoffs. Are you that scared of a third round matchup with Paintsville or Raceland? Is it just your goal to be number one in the state in the overall RPI? I’m not sure why any Pikeville fan would be crying about the RPI. With the exception of Belfry you’ve defeated a bunch of average to below average teams that are in a higher class. Because of this you have benefited from the RPI because of a flaw they call the multiplier, but yet you still want to cry.You’re in class A , but your talent haul the past couple of years has given you a Class 4A type roster in terms of numbers. You can’t have a double standard here. You can’t cry half the time with poor pitiful me I’m just a little ole Class A school one minute and then thump your chest because your a tiny Class A school that’s ranked above the big boys the next minute.

Actually it has to do with the math allowing a drop on a weekend in which all the above applied when neither team played, etc like Jet pointed out. With Pikeville only having 9 games due to the Jenkins game being a forfeit (as we understand it now), the POTENTIAL is there for them to actually drop to 3rd. If that happens, despite playing a schedule that is tougher than Ashland’s in a normal year (this years Tomcat schedule is pretty tough so ‘grats on that) they could end up traveling when they SHOULD be at home. For the players and fans, I think that’s unfair. I still think the Panthers would end up in Lexington but don’t agree with the possibility of having to travel in the playoffs because a system allows something so silly to happen to the numbers in the situation Jet pointed out.

And for the record, Ashland has a good team this year. Congrats. But don’t be a hypocrite about talent haul. No one at Pikeville is scared of playing Raceland or Paintsville, if anything, in a normal year Ashland would definitely be scared of playing Raceland since they seem to continue to be competitive with y’all.
